Rivera will receive $5.25 million this season. When the season opened, Jose Bautista was the only Blue Jay to have a higher salary this year.

Rivera, 33, appeared in 70 games for the Jays, batting .243 with six home runs and 27 RBIs. He had a .667 OPS.

With the Dodgers, Rivera will be a right-handed complement to Tony Gwynn Jr. in left field and James Loney at first base.

Rivera was a right-handed bat against left-handers for the Jays, but he struggled in the field. He started 20 games at first, 12 in left field, three in right field and 25 at DH.

The Jays now are heavy from the left side — not that there is anything wrong with that. Eric Thames, Corey Patterson and Snider are all left-handed hitters. Their only right-handed hitting outfielder is Rajal Davis.
